Roc Marciano - The Skeleton Key
80

Roc Marciano and The Alchemist are back with a new album, so here are my thoughts. And let’s begin with the highlight for me, and that is the rapping performances from Marciano. Simply put, Roc Marciano is one of the most gifted rhymers of his generation. He’s proven himself time and time again that he’s got some of the most intricate and abstract rhyme schemes this Rap game’s seen. To no surprise to me, he continues showing off that skillset. The best way I can ... read more

Joey Bada$$ - ALL-AMERIKKKAN BADA$$

The message Joey is pushing here is of much importance. A political message, where Joey is standing up against America. The album is essentially a middle finger to the system in America.
I think the writing on this album is so well done. Some tracks are very preachy, and they need to be. Others are a bit more laid back.
With that being said, for me, this album has limiting replay value because of the heavy nature of the lyrics. That’s not to diminish the concept, it’s just a lot ... read more

Westside Gunn - Still Praying

Westside Gunn teamed up with Dj Drama for a new album called Still Praying. And I’m a huge fan of Gunn, and after the promotion he did for this record I was really hyped. And so let’s get started with some of the highlights for me.
And for me the big highlight was Gunn’s rapping. Sometimes he can sort of get a lot more laid back with the flows, and kind of slower, but I think he really brought top caliber rhymes and flows for this one.
I think usually Gunn focuses more on ... read more

D2x - THE HUNGER ERA

D2X’s previous pieces of work leaned a lot more into the Chill Hip Hop, Jazz Rap scene. But with this new EP, D2X leans a lot heavier into his Chicago identity. A lot of the production on here is clearly heavily playing off a lot of early Kanye work, and giving me The Blueprint vibes. In terms of the rapping, of course you know he’s always on point, and he delivers amazing flows all throughout.
This album is almost like if Wu Tang Clan was inspired by Marvel comics and old DC show, ... read more

Rome Streetz & Daringer - Hatton Garden Holdup

when it comes to Rome Streetz, I think he is easily one of the top tier emcees in the Rap game right now, and probably the best in form rapper out of the Griselda label right now. And of course linking up with OG Griselda producer and one to help put together the iconic Griselda sound, in Daringer, just makes sense.
And to put it straight, I think this link up for sure lived up to the big hype I, and other fans had. Daringer just laces up this great, classic feeling, dark Boom Bap beats. These ... read more
